Deep Water: The Real Story
In the 1980s and 1990s a wave of murders bloodied the idyllic coastline of Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The victims: young gay men. Disturbing gang assaults were being carried out on coastal cliffs around Sydney, and mysterious deaths officially recorded as "suicide", "disappearance" and "misadventure". Individual stories are woven together by first person interviews and detailed re-enactments, piecing together the facts of these unsolved cases, decades later.

Purely Joyful Movie!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
As gay man and son of a policeman, I found much of this extremely confronting to watch. Thankfully I live in Western Australia. The behaviour of the police in the 70s , 80s and 90s was appalling! What is more appalling however, is the continued denial of the police and the covering up of their lack of due diligence! This documentary should make any civilised Australian bloody angry. I cannot imagine how these families feel anything but angry and pissed off!
